 It was the first ninth-inning home run that Verlander has surrendered in his career.

 Ichiro Suzuki recorded New York's first hit of the game with a one-out single in the fourth inning.
Ichiro, who went 2-for-4, had two of New York's three hits against Verlander. All other Yankees went 1-for-24 against the right-hander.

 Verlander's three strikeouts in Game 3 were his fewest in 10 career postseason starts, not including his rain-shortened outing in Game 1 of the 2011 AL Division Series against the Yankees.

 Verlander threw 132 pitches, one short of his postseason career high in Game 5 of the 2011 ALDS against the Rangers. Since Mark Prior (Cubs) and Pedro Martinez
(Red Sox) in 2003, Verlander is the only pitcher to have thrown 130-plus pitches in a postseason game.

 Verlander is the first pitcher in Tigers history to record two career postseason wins against the Yankees.

 The Yankees fell behind 0-3 in a postseason series for the fourth time in franchise history. New
York also went down 0-3 in the 1922 World Series vs. the Giants, the 1963 World Series vs. the Dodgers and
the 1976 World Series vs. the Reds. The Yankees were swept each time.

 Delmon Young hit his seventh career postseason homer as a member of the Tigers, which extended his franchise record.

 Young's five career postseason homers against the Yankees tie him with five others for third all time. Duke Snider has 10, while George Brett and Juan Gonzalez have 6.

 Young is the only Tigers player who has hit more than two career postseason home runs against the
Yankees.

 Miguel Cabrera has hit safely in 16 consecutive LCS games, the longest streak in Major League history.

 Cabrera reached base safely in his 19th straight postseason game, which passed Hank Greenberg for the most in Tigers postseason history.

 Cabrera's fifth-inning double off Yankees reliever David Phelps was the seventh of his postseason career as a member of the Tigers, tying him with Greenberg for the second most in franchise history. Pete Fox is the Tigers' franchise leader with nine.

 The double was Cabrera's 11th career postseason extra-base hit as a member of the Tigers, which
trails only Greenberg's 14 in franchise history.

 Phil Hughes' outing of three-plus innings -- cut short by back stiffness -- was the first start by a Yankees
pitcher this postseason that lasted less than 6 2/3 innings.

 Including Young's homer in Game 3, Phil Hughes has allowed a home run in 27 of his 34 starts this year. The 35 homers Hughes allowed in the regular season tied for the second most in the Majors.

 Robinson Cano snapped his postseason record 0-for-29 slump with a ninth-inning single off Tigers reliever Phil Coke. Cano finished the regular season on a 24-for-39 tear with three home runs and 14 RBIs, but is hitting just .083 in the postseason (3-for-36).
